A CANNY Millicent businessman has taken a clever marketing ploy into the regional sport. Sukhchain Singh, who has successfully established the New Heaven Indian Restaurant, is using cricket to promote his business. With the capable help of Millicent signwriter Matt Cockrum, Mr Singh’s cricket bat now features the name and logo of his George Street eatery. Mr Singh said his new $180 bat was imported from his native India and did not have any maker’s name or other markings. “Matt had done all the signage for the restaurant,” he said. “He was able to match up the logo and the colours for my bat.” He has not had many chances this season to use it as a lower order batsman for the Millicent Black Caps.

PRIDE AND JOY: Millicent Black Caps cricketer Sukhchain Singh wants to use his cricket bat to promote his restaurant. Investigation heats up Police offer $200,000 reward for murder information From front page “Police hope the offer of these substantial rewards will encourage someone with intimate knowledge of an offence involving these homicides to come forward with that vital information that we require,” Comm Dickson said. “These rewards reiterate our ongoing commitment to the families and to the broader community and should be a warning to those people who may be involved with these crimes that they should come forward themselves.” Police hope with the time that has passed since the disappearance of people such as Mr Rogers some 45 years ago, it may be easier for someone with information to come forward. REPORT INFORMATION TO “Over time relationships between people - they may be the offenders, friends, associates - they change,” Comm Dickson said. “We believe as a con- sequence of that time passing that people may feel more comfortable in providing information to us now than they may have 30 or 40 years ago. “Those responsible should take no comfort from the passing of time as these cases will continually be investigated and will not be closed until an offender has been apprehended.” Minister for Police Tony Piccolo urged anyone with knowledge of the unsolved murder to come forward. “It doesn’t matter how small or insignificant, it is important that we get that additional information,” he said. “It’s important that we get justice for the victim of the crime. “Just as importantly, we want to make sure that the victims’ families get some peace of mind.” Fox bait season NATURAL Resources South East will hold a series of fox bait collection days for landholders in the Wattle Range area next week. The collection days help landhold- ers to take a collaborative approach to baiting to help keep fox numbers under control. Natural Resources South East district manager Ross Anderson said the introduced red fox played a major role in the decline of native fauna, such as ground nesting birds and small mammals. “In isolation, baiting may take some pressure off flocks, but fox populations recover rapidly after short-term baiting and are best controlled through long term group programs,” he said. “Participating in a coordinated baiting program means more foxes are removed from particular areas simultaneously and this slows fox incursions from surrounding properties.” Fox bait purchase points for landholders will be established by Natural Resources South East on Tuesday, March 31, and Wednesday, April 1. Staff will provide instructions on baiting techniques. Landholders are required to bring strictly fresh red meat (3-4cm cubes), a sealed plastic container or bucket and will be able to purchase fox baits. Authorised officers will provide details of legislative requirements to minimise the risks associated with baiting.
